My wife actually enjoys this CAO creation in cigar form on occasion. As I've shed my prejudice against aromatics recently I ordered some up for a try. The aromatic flavors are distinct and top notch. The aroma of the tin is very pleasant and rich. It's flavored something like an Irish Cream treat. Unfortunately, the Virginia tobacco is not tempered with Burley so it has that thin bodied but strong tongue irritating Virginia quality that I dislike. Had this blend had the benefit of the rich, full, grain-like or nutty qualities of Burley added (needless to say I love Burley )it may have been enjoyable. As it is this CAO concoction is just a sweet tongue scorcher. If you are a fan of strongly flavored Virginia tobacco you'll probably like this. As for me, it only deserves one star. However for the Virginia lover this would likely be appreciated so I'll give it two stars. Note: I have added a small amount of this to a home-made blend and due to the quality of the flavorings it made a nice condiment to the mixture.

I don't know what it is about this tobacco. I almost feel embarrassed to say this but I love it. I find myself smoking other more expensive and fancier aromatics and wishing I'd packed this instead. If you sip it just right, you really get the cream taste, and unlike other reviewers I don't find it terribly chemically tasting. It's nice. Sweet without being too sweet, pairs with my coffee well, and relaxing to smoke. I'm going to keep a tin of this handy. Between this and Presbyterian blend I could die a happy man!

Another one I must say that I really like. It lights very easy which is a plus. Not very strong which is also good in my opinion. I can detect a little bit of vanilla in this tobacco as well as a cocoa like chocolate taste. Smells as great as it tastes. This one is great for those like myself who enjoy good aromatics.

I enjoyed this more than cherry bomb, moondance, or bella vanilla. It was wetter than the other three CAO blends, but I thought the taste more complex. It is very sweet--almost too sweet for me. Very nice room note even outside. I would recommend especially for beginning smokers like myself.

Very, very nice. From the moment you open the tin to the last puff. One can really detect the Irish Cream in this tobacco. Packs in the bowl well, and goes well with coffee. A nice morning smoke. You can't beat that. I will try the other CAO tobaccos in the near future if they are anything like Eileen's Dream I'm in for a real treat.

Too weak, nearly no nicotine, tastes generically sweet, but nothing like the tin note (which is outstanding). It is better used for pot pourri than smoking. Very gently sipping brings out some vanillaish flavour, but not enough to compensate. If you don't want nicotine and want to smoke around non smokers, get this stuff, it definitely has its place and clearly people like it, but not me. I won't be buying any more.

Nice tin note, really has some good looking tobacco leaves. There is some slight broken flake in this that I found. Has some nice chocolate and cream waft to it. This is a very clean smoke for an Aromatic. Right out of the tin, for me at least it smoked to the bottom with only a slight bit of moisture on the heel of the pipe. I liked this a bit less than the bulk Irish Cream I was smoking, and in the end, I will go back to the bulk as it is of course cheaper and a better Irish Creme. Don't get me wrong, as an Aromatic goes this is a very nice one, but bulk in this instance is a better blend.

Another great Aromatic from CAO. Burns clean and dry as Moontrance does. Packs and lights well, and delivers a great amount of creamy smoke with little effort. I would recommend this much more than your bulk B&M Irish Cream tobaccos. Small sips let the subtle flavorings come to the forefront. The Irish Cream is very noticable, the Chocolate is there, but more as an undertone. Pairs well with a coffee and Bailey's.

She Who Must Be Obeyed loves this! I really enjoy the taste, and the room note. My truck smells like this and Moontrance. I especially enjoy this in a churchwarden type after supper with a cup of coffee. Only drawback is intown availability. Ready to celler some and try in a month or so after cracking the tin. Highly recommend to everyone that enjoy aro's. Update: I now alternate this with other aro's and enjoy the variety. SWMBO is a fan of this practice and I think I see a smile when she sees me reach for my pipe. So, win-win. But, be advised-if you have a pipe constantly burning, this blend sometimes bites if pushed or overly drawn. Will also steam if pushed, and become a gloopy mess. Go Slow and enjoy this. If you are like me and always have a pipe in your mouth, this may be alittle too steamy for you. Thats when the chemical taste emerges and my pipe becomes a torture device.

Reading the other reviews and scratching my head. I could barely taste the casing. This smoked like a Cavendish for me and tasted the same. For my tin, the flavoring was only minutely detectable.

You want sweet? You got it! This stuff has a casing unlike any tobacco I've ever tasted. Full, sweet, chocolaty, but minty too. I am reminded of Girl Scouts Thin Mints when I smoke this stuff. The room note is an absolute pleasure and the taste is heavenly. I opened the tin and my first impression was not good. The tin smelled almost sickly sweet and the tobacco was rather sticky and clumped. It will not smoke well right out of the tin, but give it a week or so with the hermetic seal on the lid broken, and the tobacco flavor will shine through the casing very nicely after that. Nice toasty Burley flavor with LOADS of everyone's favorite sweet treat, Black Cavendish. All I can say about room note and taste is that they are one and the same. Chocolate, mint, Irish Cream, and awesome. That's how it is. This is a delightful smoke that for as much sugar as it has, smokes surprisingly cool, and stays lit most of the time. Pack it loose though or you'll go through a box of kitchen matches like it's your job. This is a sweet, high quality aromatic that can be enjoyed by all. Good to smoke in non smoking company. You'll get maybe one or two complaints and then they'll smell it and forget what they were saying mid-sentence.

Gave this blend a try this morning. It lit very well and kept a good steady burn all the way to the bottom of the bowl. The casing was really good. It almost tasted like Baileys Irish Cream Liquor. Very good indeed. I'm sure a good cup of Baileys or maybe a coffee if you like would enhance the flavors even more. The fiance gave the room note two thumbs up. Defintely an aromatic worth picking up.

I really love his stuff a good smoke but it aint an aromatic. The bums in the park hold their noses while I smoke it. Great musky Black Cavendish. Wont gunk up your pipe. The Mint Chocolate flavor is light Great nocotine level off the chart bros Try it also let it sit for about two weeks after you open the tin

I got this in a trade, not knowing anything about it. When I cracked the tin, I groaned at the heavy chocolate and liqueur scent. When I finished the bowl, I thought "not bad... not bad at all". Like most aromatics, the tin aroma is overstated in comparison to the flavor. Dried out sufficiently, this one had a true tobacco taste under the "box of chocolates" aroma. Certainly the truffles and Irish Creme flavors shone through, but this didn't taste like candy. The taste overall was medium in intensity but the tobacco taste was definitely there. The room aroma was nowhere near as powerful as I thought it would be, and I was most impressed that this left no wet dottle or caused my pipes to gurgle very much. Really a very nice example of an aromatic for pipesmokers, rather than an aromatic for those in the same airspace as the smoker. Not a ringing endorsement but anyone that enjoys exotic smelling tobacco should try this one. It's probably drier and tastier than what you're used to. Now the question is if you like the taste. Try it and see. I'd call this a premium aromatic.

Complex indeed and very sweet but I would shine brightly if it were not for the chemical flavor that dominates everything. This would be a great tobacco were it not for that. I can't even identify it specifically. Its just got this lakeland perfume chemical thing going on in front of the good stuff. I gave this to a friend who actually got sick from it. This stuff is pricey enough, so don't waste your money honey on chemical perfumes in the toby.

I started out as a cigar smoker, smoking CAO cigars. Decided to try this one for that reason. It smells really good, tastes very sweet, but after a while it gets to be too sweet. I stopped smoking mine and left it in the tin for a few months and now it's very dry and unsmokeable so I use it as a air freshener, which is a good thing to do if you dont like this stuff.

This was my first aromatic, and I have to say when I first opened the tin I was immediately intimidated by the sickly sweet scent. I'm a lover of Bailey's, but wow did this turn me off. I'm glad I persevered and tried a bowl, though, because this was a fast favorite. The flavor is deliciously creamy, and the room note is heavenly. It lit very easily, even for this tobacco novice, and only required one relight about halfway through the bowl. I smoked my second bowl with a strong cup of tea. Delicious.

First of all, there is no cigar leaf in this blend (as is stated in a review below). Second, the taste that "lingers" (again mentioned in a review below...what tobacco doesn't leave a lingering taste?) is fairly sweet and creamy. Eileen's Dream was one of my first blends for my first pipe, and the cake inside the bowl is now comprised of nothing but this blend. I have dedicated my first bowl to this tobacco and set aside some tins for aging. Considering that many/most aromatics are extremely syrupy and don't always taste as good as they smell, this one is a spectacular exception. The Irish Creme and White Chocolate continue to offer their harmonic tastes until the very last puff, unlike some aromatics that lose their topping soon after the bowl is lit. Furthermore, the sweet Cavendish is not completely masked by the flavors. Instead, the tobacco's natural taste gives a nice creamy touch to the sweet mix. This is a fantastic blend anytime of day, but is especially wonderful with a morning cup of coffee or on a cold dark night. 4/4 stars. Great place to start for beginners.

If you like Bailey's... this one's not to miss. It's a little stronger on the tongue than I anticipated, but I guess you get at least a little of that with most aromatics.
